How should you evaluate Stephen Curry's defense? In the cosmic courage that the man was afraid of a few years ago, Curry was the target of James and Irving's misplaced singles and offensive ends. There are also many people who are upset for Curry, after all, his four teammates are chasing the dream Thompson Durant and Iguodala, at this time, not only Curry, who should be singled?
In fact, over the years, Curry's defense is definitely not bad, and it has always been the mid-range level of the point guard position. Unfortunately, he was dragged down by four years of riding bravery, resulting in his reputation not being good enough. But Curry is Curry, and attentive fans will find that as they get older, Curry not only gains weight, but also gains muscle. The muscle lines of his arms are a circle larger than those of the absolute peak season.
Admittedly, weight gain has brought a lot of hand fluctuations, so far in the season, Curry's shooting percentage is the lowest in his career, and there have been too many bad games like today's Heat, 3 of 17, 10 of 3 three-pointers. But Curry quietly played the best defensive season of his career. The Warriors' defensive efficiency is the first in the league, while Curry's personal defensive efficiency is as high as 98.2, ranking fourth in the league.
Curry can keep an eye on the opponent's core defenders without falling behind, and the ability to squeeze cover is even better. And when facing the opponent's tall forward singles, Curry can also rely on his excellent defensive awareness, waiting for teammates to change defenses and make up positions, sending opponents in the direction of chasing dreams and brothers. The team boss leads by example, and it's no wonder that the Warriors are all vying for the lead. It is said that defense wins the championship, and this season's Warriors are definitely the favorite to win the championship.
